| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  All those rats and that army..shit. They're attacking in masses too! Once again, this episode gave off that mystical like feeling that was pleasant and refreshing to watch imo. One of the wolf soldiers had some wise words for a nice little insight to this arc. The group also reunites with a nice little conclusion. 5/5. |

| The handsomest queerat finally makes his debut !! |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Venneria said: I guess you did not read too much of the ep.6 or ep.5 thread? Anyway it is a common misunderstanding that I blame the anime directing for the dreadful confusion. You can read my post in ep.6 thread which quotes another post of mine in ep.5 thread (just one of the many, if you like you should read the whole threads):I meant after that priest killed some of the bakenekomus he started shaking on that flying thing? http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=512527&show=120#msg18143797 |

kpk10 said: I suspect the anime is being changed subtly but substantially from the novel for that scene, just like what they did with Satoru x Saki scene in ep.6. I hope I am wrong though...Well, grown up Shun doesn't sound too bad, actually. But why Venneria said: I think most if not all who came here just to kick up fuss about sex are gone. The threads for the last 2 episodes have been mostly decent discussion about the anime and the story itself. I see so it was cause he sealed their cantus? also i kinda stoped reading the threads because, i though i would just come over more people who was expecting sex. In short, Satoru would not suffer any ill-effect for killing squeerats. And it is important to bear this in mind because the relationship between human and squeerats is an important theme in this novel/anime. The monk suffered because he was affected by the perception of the dust taking some human-like form. |

| ^ Those are ep.8 questions. Let's leave it till ep.8 airs. I need to confirm if my suspicion/fear turns out to be true. |

| Nice to see Satoru and Saki reunited with Maria, Mamoru and Shun. Next episode shows them grown a bit. Looks like some drama is coming ahead. |

kpk10 said: Aidoru, will you once again have a super fast release for episode 7 like you had with episode 6? It's out now. So is our release of the first two chapters of the novel. Good episode, good to see the show returning to form. |
| Absolutely fantastic. Action, restoration and setting up everything for the next episode. Oh my, grown up now eh? |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| So basically what i thought Is coming to pass The "mantra" and "cantus" are merely psychological objects used by the "scientist" in attempts to control and/or eliminate power hungry insane humans born with telekinetic powers. They disguise it in within a sugar-coating buddhist religion that resembles some utopian cult religion. Saki and the others can regain their telekinesis when they trick their mind into undoing the Monk's post-hypnotic suggestion. not looking forward to the yaoi scene coming up. I sure hope they don't get too graphic or phonic with it. *barf* |
| That preview completely killed most of my interest for this anime. Just when it started getting good. If we're going to be seeing shit like that, then I'm going to have to drop this, especially if it might be a regular occurrence since it looks like they may be in a relationship(?). Yea, no thanks. Yuri I'm fine with, but if there's brokeback mountain shit, fuck that. |

| Damn, that was kinda suspense there. SO the gangs are grown up next week. |
 |
| I thought they are in another shit situation when Kiroumaru followed them... but it was a false alarm! Finally finished this arc. I wonder what trouble they would be in now that they return? |

| GODDAMN THIS EP WAS GOOD. saki and satoru make such a good pair, and i don't only mean that in the romantic sense. their teamwork is impeccable.

| All this build up...gotta admit i don't care for the Yaoi garbage that is being implicated left and right but if the story actually matches the hype that the build up implies then i will look over it, but that said the timeskip seems promising, and if they must throw scenes like the one in the preview in there i hope they actually give it reason, because while it may have just been me that scene with Satoru and Saki in that crappy animated episode seemed misplaced to me. |

First episode thread for this anime that I browse thru since episode 3 and I see this on the first page lol...., atleast you lasted alot longer than me dude, I dropped it at 3.., you lasted till 7, mad props! |
walk said: InfiniteDestiny said: i hope they actually give it reason, because while it may have just been me that scene with Satoru and Saki in that crappy animated episode seemed misplaced to me. you don't pay attention to the story at all, do you? So because they were afraid and thought they may die it flows well? i don't think so, they indicated that Saki likes Shun, then she suddenly was "ok" with it, i may very well have misinterpreted this for all i know, but regardless i did pay attention. |

| First; Those of you complaining about the scene in the Preview... I mean, Seriously ? I won't go into the part where you don't have to like it, you just have to live with it and respect it but... If you stop watching this show just because one of the 'couple' doesn't go with you, it's sad... for you! Shinsekai Yori seems to have an interesting story, that's all that matters to me ! Anyway, this isn't a fucking yaoi anime or whatever I doubt you'll have to see more than you should. Now... Back on Topic! For a moment, I was scared they would come back home and everything would be fine! I'm glad what we're told by the narrator at the end tells otherwise. I'm curious about what's going to happen with them now... and next! I'm glad they all reunited at the end and Kiroumaru helped them. Finally they can go home ! I can't wait for next episode with the Time Skip. I don't like Satoru's hair cut tho lol =P Shun's good tho. Seems like the Relationship and frienship topic is going to go back on Track tho. No more misleading to Satoru + Saki. I'm wondering about the other character. Mamoru still like the... 5th wheel ? lol Wanna know more about Maria, Shun and Him. We didn't see them a lot in the previous episode. |

Care to explain, i mean you have a condescending attitude as it is, you may as well. this point has been discussed time and time again, so i'm just going to pull up something i've already written before. but if you paid attention, it would be very obvious why this scene took place. recalling episode 4, when they encountered the minoshiro library, it explained how scientists were trying to shape a society where violence among humans would be nonexistent. in order to do this, they shifted their focus to the bonobos, who relieved stress and anxiety through intimate sexual acts, and implemented this behavior to this society. this is how children in this society were raised. from a young age, they were already taught to relieve their stress in this manner, so despite their age, this type of activity is perfectly normal to them. saki and satoru did not just suddenly start touching each other out of nowhere. it was specifically to relieve their stress. they have probably been doing this for many years. the anime didn’t portray this very well, but if you paid attention, you would be able to put two and two together and realize this fact. |

I'd add : Regardless of their own feelings. I mean you could be in love with someone but have sex with someone else you don't really 'love' and... yah it would still work!... ;) Same goes with their way to relieve stress. All that matters is that they relieve their Stress. Doesn't matter who. It could have been Maria with Saki that time and it would have been the same. Just happened to be Satoru. |

| Over the years I've been following this site, the hostility towards yaoi is disturbing. Anyway good episode and my interest is still up. I wonder how many years pass in the next episode? |

Aaaah, I apologize, but I have to agree. I've been reading through all the forums one by one and I can't quite seem to understand why you would come back if you quit on it during the third episode. Do you check back and agree with people who dislike it solely because you enjoy not being lonely in your steps or because you want to reassure yourself that quitting this anime wasn't wrong? Or possibly both? Ah, they're rhetorical questions, you don't have to answer me. I think walk stated what I was wondering well enough. Anyway! This episode was fantastic, and it felt sooo short. I always love how Saki is so horribly clever for such a young age. I'm amazed and dumbfounded she can think so fast. Her and Satoru are incredible together and, I won't lie, I was a little disappointed when the other kids showed up so quickly and they didn't get to spend some more time alone. But alas. About the preview, walk and Bouum very clearly spoke just how I also feel. I won't spoil anything, (at least I'll try not to) but if you can't handle close, intimate relationships between these five kids , whether it'd be Satoru/Shun or Satoru/Saki or Saki/Maria or whoever the story pairs up, then you aren't mature enough to watch this anime. And you were definitely not paying attention to the first five episodes. So much for my first post on the forums, eh? |
| Fangirls out in full force. I must concede. |
|
| Kinda felt rushed to me towards the end of the ep, but it was pretty good 4/5. |
  |
| I loved this episode! That leader rat was really cool. 5/5 |
| awesome ep. why did the general help them? time skip? cool but i hope they explain what happened when they got back. sounded like something big happened |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
